What to Consider About Assisted Living in Fayetteville

Fayetteville is a medium-sized town on the forested road between Chambersburg and Gettysburg. Home to just 20,000 people, 18% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over, the area in and around Fayetteville has 41 assisted living facilities where local seniors can live as comfortably and independently as their health allows. These facilities, like all residential care communities throughout the state, are inspected and licensed through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Fayetteville

  • The climate in Fayetteville is generally mild, with warm summers that see average daily high temperatures of 81 degrees. Winters in Fayetteville can be cold, with overnight lows of 19 degrees, which may be an issue for temperature-sensitive seniors. The Fayetteville area gets around 47 inches of rain a year.
  • The cost of living in Fayetteville is low in most categories, though there are exceptions in some categories. Overall, seniors in Fayetteville pay just 93% of the average cost for most expenses, though healthcare in town costs around 31% more than the national average.
  • Crime rates in Fayetteville are relatively low, both for American cities and for urban areas in the state of Pennsylvania.

Seniors can schedule trips between any two addresses in this coverage area.

Seniors enrolled in the program can call the Franklin County customer service center to schedule door-to-door service on relatively short notice. 
  • The Fayetteville area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Chambersburg Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
